Your mail setup is broken, most lines have no breaks before within a length going over 3-4 lines on a more-than-80-characters-width-xterm. However, that reboot isn't part of the program. There must be something very wrong causing the kernel to panic and reboot, perhaps some disk error, perhaps something with your hardware. Try to look for error messages right before the reboot happens. Without them, helping you is more than difficult. At least I can say, this is not normal :-( Regards, Martin -- /| /| | /| / ,,You know, there's a lot of opportunities, / |/ | artin |/ |/ elk if you're knowing to take them, you know, there's a lot of opportunities, Freiberg/Saxony, Germany if there aren't you can make them, mw@sax.de / mw@theatre.sax.de make or break them!''
